B. There is no way the user can stop scaling as it is already configured
C. The network I/O are not affected during data download
D. He can suspend scaling temporarily

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

Explanation: The user may want to stop the automated scaling processes on the Auto Scaling groups either to perform manual operations or during emergency situations. To perform this, the user can suspend one or more scaling processes at any time. Once it is completed, the user can resume all the suspend-ed processes. Reference:
